Embodiment 1

[0064] Example 1: Structure of Catheter and Detector for Cervical Examination

[0065] 1-1. Structure of catheter for cervical examination

[0066] Such as Figure 2 to Figure 7 As shown, the catheter for cervical examination of the present invention includes: a hollow catheter 30, which is inserted into the vagina 10; a volume expansion part 70, which is arranged at one end of the catheter, so that a hollow part for monitoring is formed when the volume is expanded; And a volume control part 100 configured to expand the volume of the volume expansion part 70 .

[0067] As a specific example, the catheter for cervical examination of the present invention may be disposable.

[0068] One end of the conduit can pass through to form a medium inlet and outlet hole 120, so that the volume medium supplied to the volume control part 100 flows into the side of the volume expansion part 70 ( figure 2 ).

[0069] As a specific example, the volume expansion part 70 may use a balloon...

Embodiment 2

[0087] Example 2: Role of Catheters and Detectors for Cervical Examination

[0088] The detector for cervical examination of the present invention is inserted into the vagina 10 . When reaching the cervix 20 through the entrance of the vagina 10 and the upper part of the vagina 10, the volume of the volume expansion part 70 will be expanded by the volume control part 100, so that the lower part of the vagina 10 in a collapsed state will be opened, thereby ensuring the front part of the cervix 20 Space. The state of the cervix 20 can be directly confirmed by the monitor through the lens of the cervix detecting portion 50 . Patients can also confirm their own cervix20 through the monitor.

[0089] Furthermore, by measuring the size of the entrance (os) of the cervix 20 with the monitor, the progressing stage of labor pains can be grasped.

[0090] In addition, amniotic fluid or vaginal secretions can be sucked through the suction part additionally provided in the detector f...

Abstract

The invention provides a catheter for cervical examination, comprising: a hollow catheter (30), which is inserted into the vagina (10); a volume expansion part (70), which is arranged at one end of the catheter, and includes a A monitoring hollow portion for monitoring the cervix (20) upon volume expansion; and a volume control portion (100) configured to expand the volume of the volume expansion portion (70). The present invention also provides a detector for cervical inspection, comprising: the catheter for cervical inspection; and a cervical detection part (50) configured through the catheter. By the catheter and detector for cervical examination of the present invention, the discomfort and pain of obstetrical patients can be eliminated, and the cervix can be effectively inspected only by opening the lower part of the vagina at the front end of the cervix without opening the upper part of the vagina and the entrance of the vagina . In addition, it is possible to accurately and continuously grasp changes in the cervix of a parturient in labor without endoscopic examination, and it is possible to more objectively and accurately determine whether a caesarean section is necessary. In addition, the biofeedback effect can be expected because the pregnant woman directly confirms the changes of her cervix through the monitor. Also, since the state of the cervix in patients with early labor or early rupture of membranes before labor can be accurately confirmed, more accurate diagnosis can be made and the chance of infection can be reduced. In addition, in outpatient treatment, obstetrics and gynecology examinations are performed without using a speculum, and the state of the cervix can be directly shown and explained to the patient, thereby improving patient satisfaction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a catheter for cervical examination including a hollow portion for monitoring and a detector including the catheter. Background technique [0002] Knowing the status of the cervix is ​​very important for the diagnosis and treatment of obstetrics and gynecology, and as a basic examination, it is an examination that is required for almost all patients. To do this, the doctor puts a hand directly into the vagina and touches the cervix (palpation) to understand its condition (internal examination) or puts a speculum (speculum) into the vagina to open the vagina and checks the cervix with eyes (inspection) , inspection)( figure 1 ). At this time, due to the insertion of the doctor's hand or speculum, the narrow vaginal entrance is forced to open, which makes the patient feel inconvenient or painful, so there is a problem that the patient is unwilling to accept these examinations, and even refuses the examination in severe ...
